I didn't realize this book dealt with agoraphobia until I began. It's not the main character or one of the main focuses, but I've never read a book that addresses the topic so it was nice.
It also faced grief straight on, so that made for some emotional reading.
A quick, heart-felt read. One I could definitely come back to.

I read this book when I was way young and it was one of the few books that left an impression on me. I don’t ever reread books but I thought it would be a great time about 15 years later. It’s a magical book for young readers that really hits some tough topics. I’d recommend this book to adults too.
